A Fresh Look at Nasdaq 100’s Path Since Our Last Update

Since our last discussion on the Nasdaq 100 (NDX) in mid-February, our analysis has closely followed the development predicted by the Elliott Wave Principle (EWP), specifically the “green W-5” wave.

Initially, the rally from the low in October 2023 presented a complex pattern, with a notable five-day drop leading into January 5.

Our previous assessment suggested a temporary retreat to around NDX 17100+/-100 and NAS 15250+/-100 for a “green W-4,” followed by a surge to complete the “green W-5” wave.

As of our last commentary, the NDX was trading at approximately $17,600. Fast forward five weeks, and it now trades around $18,420, marking a 4.7% increase.

This highlights the importance of frequent market analysis. Our revised outlook sees the NDX approaching the final stages of a “grey W-v,” concluding the “green W-5” wave around $18,700+/-100, characterized by an ending diagonal (ED) pattern.

Ending diagonals typically display a 3-3-3-3-3 wave structure, indicating the culmination of a trend. Notably, in such patterns, the first and fourth waves may overlap, creating a wedge shape.

Our analysis of wave extensions and overlaps suggests that the NDX’s movement adheres to the characteristics of an ending diagonal.

The daily chart analysis aligns the typical W-5 = W-1 relationship with a target close to $18,615, nearing the $18,800 Fibonacci level. The chart also indicates potential for a slight extension beyond this range.

To monitor the uptrend’s sustainability, we’ve identified critical warning levels: the first warning at $18,300, followed by subsequent thresholds. A fall below the green W-4 low signals a shift to a “black W-4?” phase, targeting around NDX 15900+/-200. Crucially, a breach below the October 2023 low would signify the end of the bull market.
